Super Sunday for Team Vorarlberg – Lukas Meiler took the mountain & sprint jersey at the 1st stage of the 12th SIBIU Cycling Tour UCI 2.1 / Daniel Ganahl sensationally Austrian National Champion on the mountain!
Strong performance of Lukas Meiler at the 1st stage of the 12th Sibiu Cycling Tour UCI 2.1 – Daniel Ganahl sensationally becomes Austrian National Champion on the mountain!
The first stage today from Brezoi to Sibiu was a really “tough” affair. 206 kilometres with 3800 metres of altitude.
After a very hectic start of the stage, four riders broke away from the peloton and were able to gain a lead of up to 5 minutes. Among them was Lukas Meiler from Oberammergau.
Lukas Meiler wins the mountain and sprint jersey after a courageous race!
Lukas was able to collect numerous mountain and sprint points during the stage. A few kilometres before the finish the escape group of the day was set.
The sprint of the day was won by the Italian Filippo Fiorelli (Bardiani-CSF-Faizanè) ahead of his two compatriots Nicolas Dalla Valle (Giotto Victoria – Savini Due) and Andrea Piccolo (Drone Hopper – Androni Giocattoli).
In the overall classification, Lukas Meiler is in fourth place, two seconds behind.
The roof of the Tour waits!
The second stage ends with the mountain finish on Balea Lac after 179 kilometres at 2035 metres. One thing is certain: after the long, flat start, the best legs and good tactics will be decisive in the finale.
